The loss of a pet can hit us as hard as the loss of any close friend. Yet pet bereavement is so little talked about that, along with their grief and pain, animal lovers may find themselves having to deal with feelings of confusion and even embarrassment at the strength of their reaction.

For anyone grieving the loss of a pet, or facing up to having a pet put down, Losing a Pet aims to fill the gap. Warm, direct and compassionate, this short books offers practical guidance, emotional support and, above all, reassurance that there is nothing unusual in experiencing such strong feelings.

For those supporting someone through pet bereavement, either personally or in a professional capacity, its blend of understanding and practicality aims to help the healing process.

Contents: the place of pets in our lives; understanding why we feel so strongly; the stages of loss; dealing with difficult feelings; having a pet put down; when a pet goes missing; getting help; healing yourself; commemorating and celebrating your pet; additional resources.
